cgroup: ignore css_sets associated with dead cgroups during migration
Before 2e91fa7f6d45 ("cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups"), all dead tasks were associated with init_css_set. If a zombie task is requested for migration, while migration prep operations would still be performed on init_css_set, the actual migration would ignore zombie tasks. As init_css_set is always valid, this worked fine. However, after 2e91fa7f6d45, zombie tasks stay with the css_set it was associated with at the time of death. Let's say a task T associated with cgroup A on hierarchy H-1 and cgroup B on hiearchy H-2. After T becomes a zombie, it would still remain associated with A and B. If A only contains zombie tasks, it can be removed. On removal, A gets marked offline but stays pinned until all zombies are drained. At this point, if migration is initiated on T to a cgroup C on hierarchy H-2, migration path would try to prepare T's css_set for migration and trigger the following.

This patch makes cgroup destruction path mark all affected css_sets as dead and updates the migration path to ignore them during preparation.
